Decoding door tag info

I just bought a 96 F150 4x4, extended cab XLT and got it home today. The door tag says Axle 19, Brakes B, Trans U, can anyone tell me what these are? I haven't gone underneath yet in search of tags for gear ratios and such.

19 is a 3.55:1 open rear and the U is a 4R70W. Don't know the brake code right off.

Axle 19 means: 3800lbs capacity with a 3.55 gear ratio
Brakes ?
Trans U ? I could tell you more based on if its an auto or manual and what engine it has.
So I kinda helped you!
Wish I could help you more!

Thanks guys, I had a 4R70W in my 95 Cougar, it took a dump after 92,000km. This one has 194,000KM on it unless it was rebuilt before I got it. I guess I'm lucky to have a buddy with a transmission business...LOL....It drives great, shifts nice and the fluid is nice and clean. The truck has never been used as a work truck and it's never seen a plow....Cross your fingers...LOL
